Samantha joins us today with fantastic inspiration for Christmas in July!




Christmas Fishes plays nicely with the cute scuba diver from You Are Sublime! Samantha gave the diver fun Christmas vibes with the Santa hat and beard from Ho-Ho-Holidays. She even gave him Santa’s sack of toys! The sentiment from You Are Sublime looks amazing white embossed on vellum Stitched Sentiment Banners.


I love the watercolor background that Samantha created with Distress inks and the “smooshing” method. She smooshed the ink pads on a piece of clear stamp packaging with a little spritz of water before applying the ink to a panel of cardstock. She kept adding different inks and building color until she got the blend she liked. Then she let the panel dry before using a blending tool to add more ink to deepen the color.

Your underwater Christmas scene is so brilliant, Samantha! Thanks for inspiring us today!

Samantha created a beautiful interactive Ta-Da! Diorama! that is perfect for “shell-ebrating” a wedding or anniversary!


To begin her special interactive card, Samantha cut the Ta-Da! Diorama! from Watercolor Wishes Rainbow, Spiffier Speckles and Stripes ‘n Sprinkles 6×6 papers. She used the Ta-Da! Diorama! Heart Window Add-On to cut the window in the front panel.

Then she stamped and colored pretty underwater critters, shells and sea plants to decorate the outside of the diorama. Check the supply list below for links to all the cute ocean sets.

She stamped “shell-ebrate” from Manatee-rific on the sentiment banner found in the Ta-Da! Diorama! set.


When the diorama is opened, more cute ocean critters are revealed! The Manatee-rific couple look so cute “shell-ebrating” their happy occasion!

Thank you for sharing your brilliant interactive design with us, Samantha!

Samantha was inspired by this amazing underwater scene card by Elena! It features Mermaid for You and Mermaid for You Flip-Flop!


Samantha created her own underwater birthday party scene swapping Manatee-rific for the mermaids! She also used Watercolor Wishes Rainbow paper in the background, using Stitched Ripple Backdrop instead of Sunburst Backdrop. And she used Simple Stitched Wavy Borders for the ocean floor.

Like Elena, Samantha used the cake from Birthday Before ‘n Afters. She also added images from Scootin’ By, Mermaid for You and You Are Sublime. And like her inspiration, she used Scripty Bubble Sentiments, adding Finley’s ABCs to complete her greeting!

Thank you so much for creating this adorable inspiration, Samantha!
